On the Ground at COP27: Tallying Payments and Progress
The 27th UN convention on climate change, known as COP27, is now underway in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. When Climate One spoke with Egyptian Ambassador Wael Aboulmagd in October, he argued that progress at this year\u2019s summit would be more rapid than in past years, because this year, the focus is on implementation rather than negotiation. \nAnd for the first time, loss and damage \u2014 what richer nations owe poorer ones for the climate impacts their emissions have caused \u2014 is on the agenda. How will these issues play out during the conference? Are countries increasing their ambition as promised, and keeping the goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees alive? Climate One brings us interviews with those on the ground pushing for meaningful change in Egypt.\nGuests:\nPreety Bhandari, Senior Advisor, Global Climate Program and the Finance Center, World Resources Institute\nClaire Stockwell, Senior Climate Policy Analyst, Climate Analytics\nDavid Munene, Programs Manager, Catholic Youth Network for Environmental Sustainability in Africa\nFor show notes and related links, visit our website.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
